Woodfield & Walpole

Traffic volume8-hour count · Aug 23, 2005

The west leg carries the load — 304 eastbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 45. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 103 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 56% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (66). Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.4%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 66 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 103 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 2 collisions. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 67% of collisions.

The most recent report on file is from Jul 30, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Walpole Ave between Woodfield Rd and Hiawatha Rd (40 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 2,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Woodfield Rd between Lane N of Gerrard and E of Woodfield and Fairford Ave measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Aug 2023).

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

18 registered apartment buildings with 995 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, ten of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1395 Gerrard St E (393 m, 12 units, 3 storeys, built 1965), which scored 90 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

18 registered buildings · 995 units · 10 social housing · tallest 8 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place six thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 83% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 30, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Greenwood-Coxwell.
